Dr Keith Howard

Bradford-based Emerald, a world leader in publishing academic and professional literature, is run by Howard, 77. In 2007 its parent company made £5.3m profit on £24.1m sales. With nearly £50m assets, it is worth £90m, valuing the stake held by Howard and his family trusts at about £54.5m. As Howard is a long-standing supporter of Opera North in Leeds, donating £250,000 in 2007, we cut him back to £54m.
